  • Lacking..

    Am I allowed to say that I'm lacking when it comes to updating Xanga? Probably.

    Sometimes, however, it feels like I'm significantly more deficient in many more areas. It's kinda like I wake up some days and just know that I have so much to improve on. I know that the "factory-model" David needs some upgrades. Whereas a car might not get good enough gas mileage, or has a POS sound system, I have things about myself I need to upgrade, too.

    The problem is focusing on those things that I need to change. I do that way too often. The fact of the matter is that I'm a pretty good individual. I love people completely, I'm intelligent on occasion, I can think logically, and I always try to do things to help others. There's nothing wrong with being who I am. The things I do well will eventually lead to good things as long as I stay the course and do the things that come naturally to me.

    I just wish I didn't feel like it was time for me to upgrade. I'm a pretty damn good version...and well, I just need to be comfortable with myself.

  • Wow.

    That's probably my key word for the week.

    Wow.

    Every time that I start to stagnate and get content with life, God challenges me and reminds me that there's so much more for me. The effort that I put forth on a daily basis isn't even a bit of what he's asking of me.

    I'm destined to be a part of something AMAZING....yet I'm often content to be a part of something much smaller. I'm thankful he's there dragging me back to the right path. :)

  • I'm not sure if it's the rain that's making me contemplative or if it's the relaxing ruminations of Adam Duritz that's doing it. Regardless, I'm in a relatively philosophical mood. I'm never sure if this is a good or bad thing.

    I've had the accelerator just pressed full speed lately. Life is whizzing by, and the drive is fun, but I can't help but feel that I'm missing something by not having the time to stop and breathe sometimes. I finally finished my senior research project, but now I'm anxiously awaiting for panels to decide whether it is worthy of publication. Work schedules have become increasingly demanding, and the closer I get to promotion, the more work that's required of me. Staying on top of my schedule this semester has been a daunting task.

    Regardless of my previous whining, I am so content with the way things are. I don't know if there could be a better cast of friends surrounding me as I write this novel called life.

  • Currently Watching
    The Office - Season Three

    In the past, I've always been fighting for clarity in my life. I've wanted to know what was going on, where I was going to be, who was going to be around me, and to have insight as to why it all happens.

    I like to have some sort of control in my life...

    Lately, however, I've been happy to cede that control. Life is much better when you don't have to figure everything out.

    Do I still get frustrated with the unknown? Sometimes...but it's worth it.

About Me

  • I'm 23, which is old in Arkadelphia. I'm a complete and total baseball addict in every possible way. If I was a character on The Office, I'd be Jim Halpert. I have mad dancing skills that no one knows about. When I sing, I'm pretty sure it causes death somewhere in the world. I love going to Waffle House for random reasons and singing Backstreet Boys and Cher songs along with the jukebox. I'm cocky, sometimes..but most of the time I'm just pretending. I like to ramble. Actually, I don't like to ramble, but I do it anyways. I drive the coolest car in the history of the world, have the greatest job, and share my life with the most amazing group of people. I know that I'm destined to be part of something amazing and that God's molding me into something spectacular...and that excites me so much. I'm excited about that future, yet very glad that he's with me in the present... I love people. It's what I do.
